>>18199992 (PB notable) Harvard has $45 Billion after $5 Billion Expenses 2022

OP - Columbia University in NY lost a billion dollars in 2022 - HRC will 'join' Columbia Community. [https://news.columbia.edu/news/hillary-rodham-clinton-join-columbia-community]

FTA: "At SIPA, which focuses on global politics and policy, Clinton will work closely with Dean Keren Yarhi-Milo and other senior faculty and administrators on a variety of major initiatives and engage with students in the classroom starting in the 2023-2024 academic year.

“She is a remarkable leader who has been on the frontlines of virtually every critical challenge facing our world today—from the global fight to save democracy, her advocacy for women’s rights, and her staunch defense of marginalized people everywhere,” Yarhi-Milo said. 

As a complement to the university’s “Fourth Purpose” initiative, Clinton also will help lead a major SIPA effort to convene outstanding policy thinkers from around the world to develop innovative policy solutions.

In her role with Columbia World Projects, Clinton will be helping Executive Vice President for Columbia Global and CWP Director Wafaa El-Sadr and CWP Deputy Director Ira Katznelson explore the fundamental questions on how to advance efforts to renew democracy and foster effective engagements with women and youth in this country and around the world."

So this anon went to see what kind of foreign influence money was coming into Columbia.

The largest of the top ten 'contributions' to Columbia came in the form of gifts from….Bermuda?? Over $41 Million Dollars in gifts/contracts to Columbia aaand the largest by far were in 2020. (picrel)

Meanwhile, at USAspending.gov using Bermuda as the place of performance, there was an increased spending on contracts, grants and other gifts and prizes that went from the US govt. in 2020. The most expensive contracts were let to TRITON CONTAINER INTERNATIONAL LIMITED which contracted with the DoD for 'transportation services'. Triton Container has rec'd over $24 Million from the USG for all FYs and oddly only started contracting with the USG in 2019.

As for Bermuda's overall contributions as a country to US insitutions of higher learning….Bermuda's gift to Columbia is the largest by a significant factor.

Purely coincidental, I'm sure.

Thank You Bakers!

>>18201970 (me) Also re: PB notes.

Never noticed before, but the DoE publishes letters to colleges/universities that are coloring outside the lines. This one, also from 2020 to Harvard.

Apparently Harvard is/was being investigated for their relationship with Qatar, Russia, China, Wuhan Lab and moar. Ruh Roh.

>>18202022 (me) Moar on Colleges and Foreign donations. Looks like Georgia State might be in the spotlight. From the Dept. of Ed. Office of the General Counsel letter to Georgia State's President Mark Becker in 2021:

"GSU is one of the nation’s leading research institutions, classified as a “Carnegie Research-1” or “R-1” institution and ranked 108th in the nation by total R&D expenditure according to data reported by the National Science Foundation. The NSF reported GSU’s 2017 R&D expenditures at $200,000,000. Carnegie R-1 institutions conduct the bulk of U.S. academic research and are collectively entrusted with billions in taxpayer funds each year. They also tend to collaborate closely with foreign sources, accounting for over eighty-five percent of all funds reported to the Department. GSU’s self-described engagement with foreign sources includes the Office of International Initiatives and support from a rich set of resources relating to developing international agreements, handling logistics and securing funding for international work. For example, GSU has many International Centers and Institutes; a tool called PantherGlobal lists GSU’s international institutional relationships; and the Office of International Initiatives has a Strategic Plan. Also, GSU supposedly has over 100 international agreements with over twenty partners in China and more than ten each in South Korea, France, Turkey and Taiwan, although the details of these international agreements are not disclosed.'''

However, it appears GSU has never filed a Section 117 report. Given this and GSU’s self-described extensive engagement with foreign sources, we are opening a preliminary inquiry, directed by the Department’s Office of the General Counsel with support from the Office of Federal Student Aid, regarding GSU’s Section 117 violations, if any.

>>18202022 (me) another letter found. From Department of Ed. Office of the General Counsel to Rob Portman, Chair Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations.

By way of background, your Subcommittee released a Staff Report titled “China’s Impact on the U.S. Education System” in February 2019. Important findings included:

(1) Foreign government spending on U.S. schools generally “is effectively a black hole” because U.S. colleges and universities fail to report foreign money as required by law;

(2) the Communist Chinese government invests strategically in U.S. education through Confucius Institutes and other vehicles;

(3) the public lacks an accurate or complete picture of China’s overall spending because U.S. colleges and universities “routinely” fail to report foreign money (nearly 70% of colleges and universities failed to report in this case); and

(4) the Chinese money comes with “strings that can compromise academic freedom.” Specifically:

The Chinese government approves all teachers, events, and speakers. Some U.S. schools contractually agree that both Chinese and U.S. laws will apply. The Chinese teachers sign contracts with the Chinese government pledging they will not damage the national interests of China. Such limitations attempt to export China’s censorship of political debate and prevent discussion of potentially politically sensitive topics. Indeed, U.S. school officials told the Subcommittee that Confucius Institutes were not the place to discuss controversial topics like the independence of Taiwan or the Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989. As one U.S. school administrator explained to the Subcommittee, when something is “funded by the Chinese government, you know what you’re getting.”
